Might need to power down. Pull battery,then press power and volume down

LOL, that was happenning to me recently (sometime yasterday). I thought that was it, the end of my Inspire, and I did VOL UP+POWER , I even trying to hook up to pc and redo the rooting, wouldn't work at on. Then google is my best friend , VOL DOWN+POWER got me back to Recovery mode, I will remember for the rest of my Android phone's life

that takes me into regular recovery not clockworkmod

Do you see an option that says Recovery after you get into hboot?

Also, make sure you don't have a PD98IMG file on the root of your SD card or it will always try to install that and not let you select recovery from the options. ( this happened to me multiple times before I realized what was going on.)

Have you read this?

has this problem already came up if so I missed it a link would be nice to fix my phone Thanks

I could be misunderstanding your problem here but I think i had a similar issue... first of all make sure you're holding down the power button long enough to boot up. Seems to take 4 or 5 seconds with this phone.
Also when I had the issue i took out the bat, put it back, plugged into a wall charger and then held the power button that worked. But I think really my issue was impatience not holding the power button the first time long enough.

no i am the screen wont say updating or whatever when i hold the up and down button but it looks for a driver ?? and installs the Right driver

helpppppppppp your way to the search button.

Thread moved to proper forum.

You only hold volume down and power. I had the same issue. Holding both volumes will cause the phone to not boot.

People in Hell want Ice Water!

So you flashed the recovery before you rooted. Try reflashing the original recovery. I don't know if that will work. You should have rooted then flashed recovery.

thats what im doing now but gewt stuck at waiting for bootloader to int for some reason

Well your g2x will never go out of the updating screen you have to wait until one click says it has transfered the file. Wait a minute or so after that and unplug the USB and put your battery back in the I would do a master rest.

thing is my lg screen is black can i still root with a black screen ? like i said only action i get out of the g2x is if i hold the vol up And Down and plug it in then i hear the sound of the computer finding it witch gives me hope

I would try recovering recovery befor trying to root again. I would do the nvflash but pick the original recovery instead of cm. Then after that master reset by original recovery which is hold power and down volume. Recovery will rest your rom. Rooting puts you root permissions I believe into a different partition any ways that's how a master reset does not wipe them. Your problem sounds like more of a recovery issue then root.

It is problem is it stays at Waiting for Bootloader int how long should that be there?

are you holding the volume buttons down and plunging in the usb before you select the version? you have to continue holding them the whole time. should pick it up in matter of seconds.

[Q] Can't get to download mode

How will I flash custom rom when I can't even get to download mode? CF rooting won't help because it requires odin and odin will only detect your phone when you are in download mode. Volume down+home+power puts me to recovery. Same with volume up=recovery mode.

How exactly do you do the three button combination? Do you just press all three buttons at the same time? I suggest you press the volume down button and home button first and then the power button. Make sure you're pressing the volume down part by only letting the least bit of thumb press the volume rocker.
Just out of curiosity, what's your firmware?

I did that already. Volume down first then home then power. This is not my first time flashing and I should say this is the first time that I encountered this.I tried 3 times but it takes me to recovery. I'm on DXKB2 btw.

Just making sure, bro. No need to get mad or offended. might sound like a stupid question but I just wanna know is/was your phone carrier locked at some point?
Anyway if you can't find a solution you can always just fake a problem and bring it in to the samsung service center.

It's okay. It's always hard to figure out people's tones when online. In any case, why don't you just fake a problem and send your phone in for repairs? It's still under warranty, yes?

Hi.
My GT-I9003 recently freeze at the startup and I would like to re-install all the firmware and drivers but I can't go into the download mode which i press vol- and enter and power button.
Do anyone know the reason for that and how to solve it? Thanks in advance for any opinion.

Can you go to recovery? What do you mean freeze at start up? Bootloop? I'm pretty sure you can get to download mode if you're on bootloop. Try it couple of times! Sometimes I failed to go to download too. Make sure you pressed the buttons correctly. Volume- first then home then power.
Hit thanks if you like my post.

Thanks for your reply. I'll keep trying.
Yesterday I still can go to the recovery mode but today looks like it can't. Usually the phone will vibrate when we power on it but now it looks like it won't vibrate. Instead it will on when i press the power button for quite a while and let it go, only it will on without vibrate. So weird..
My phone will always freeze at the logo there and can't go to the menu already. That's why I thought of re-install the whole firmware stuff.

hmm i think there was a promblem while flashing it. are you sure you pressed the 3 buttons download mode directory properly? i used to have the same problems way back while having the phone.
there is my way of going to download mode using the 3 button combo...
1. press and hold the home and the volume down button.
2. then add in the power button and keep holding them.
3. wait for the download mode button appear.
my other way is for rooted phones with cwm recovery....
1. press and hold the home and the volume up button.
2. then add in the power button and keep holding them.
3. when the samsung logo appears, release the power button immediately.
4. wait for the recovery to appear.
5. go to advanced options.
6. you'll find an option there to reboot to download mode.

Hey hey. Sorry for replying you so late. At last I manage to do... Tried for a few times last time and thinking of trying again later. 2day, after tried again, it manage to go to download mode. I guess my method of pressing the button is wrong all these times.... Anyway, wanna say thanks for your methods. It helps me. :good:

sometimes you need to put off battery from device for one minute put then to phone and then voldown home and power. must work.
make sure that phone is not connected to charger or via usb
probably you know this but i write for the case. and future guests
cheers

why not you guys learn how to use "adb"
it is good and fast
1. install the samsung usb driver or if you have kies istall than skip this.
2. unzip and copy all the 4 files ( with out the folder) into windows/system32 folder
3. reboot pc
4. set you phone in setting-application-development-USB debugging mode checked.
5. connect you phone to pc
6. lunch you cmd prompt
7. type adb reboot download, if you want to download mode
8. type adb reboot recovery, if you want to recovery mode
that is
beside, adb also can go into you phone system partition, do the thing like linux terminal.

Voldwn+power=bootloader volup+power=nothing?

I just recently got my referb bolt ( my original died.. capacitive buttons stopped responding...)
speed rooted it using the AIO thunderbolt tool and all went well.:laugh:
However, I have ONE really odd issue. I can get into recovery using rom manager, power menu options and through the bootloader reboot into recovery, BUT I CANNOT use volup+power to get into recovery and I cant figure out why.
I tried re-flashing CWM using the AIO tool. I tried using TWRP I even re-flashed CWM in rom manager and cleared my caches. This isnt a huge issue, but 99% working isnt cool and I would hate to have something go wrong later where i need volup+power.
appreciate it guys:good:

I thought it was vol down

Yea volume up and power never worked for me to get into recovery. It's volume down but it takes you to the bootloader not recovery. On my eris it would take you to the recovery but the dinc2 and this device dont.

i dont recall vol up and power ever doing anything on HTC phones. I know it doesnt on the TB. I think you might be getting mixed up with Samsungs.

I must be going crazy, but I could of sworn we were supposed to be able to boot right to recovery using vol up+ power on the bolt. I knew about vol down for boot loader.Maybe I just haven't flashed my phone in forever.
I DO have a Samsung device...maybe I'm confused.

[Q] Who has Bricked their Note 10.1 besides me?

Mine is stuck on the Downloading screen, shows it has progressed all the way. No button pressing combination will change anything. .Not good at all. Used Odin to flash the the same CWM recovery everybody else is using. Looks bad here. I have rooted countless Android devices and this is my first fail. Can somebody give me any advice? I just wrecked my wife's birthday gift...

Hold down the power button to restart it.

No dice. Tried that.

If power button for 15 seconds doesn't work, try volume up (in landscape right side of volume button) + power button for 10 seconds.

Held power button down for two minutes and it woke up. Redownloaded custom recovery and flashed with Odin third time. Still get stock Android recovery. Done trying. Thanks for helping though.

if you are still getting the stock recovery 3e follow these steps :
1. When flashing CWM through odin untick the "Auto Reboot" option within Odin.
2. Flash CWM.
3. When done , press power & volume up ( the one apart from power button ) until the Samsung logo appears, then leave both buttons.
4. CWM will appear.
5. Choose "Reboot System now "
6. You will get a new screen with an option mentioning something like " disable bla bla bla " ( can`t remember the exact words ) , press it & reboot.
7. Now if you get back to pressing power & volume up you will have a permanent CWM.
Then you can install root through CWM.
